A calm and elegant evening at Mesa Street Grill. My God, I had not been there in ages, and it…read moreturned into an absolutely delightful night. Raoul, our server, was attentive, polished, and genuinely pleasant throughout the evening. The kitchen remains one of the very best in El Paso -- frankly far superior to Anson 11, which too often feels overrated and inconsistent. The fresh Ahi Tuna was outstanding. The bone marrow was exquisite in both refinement and flavor, rich and literally melting in my mouth. The Branzino was cooked to perfection. Add a great bottle of Champagne Crystal Roederer Rose with a perfectly balanced French Martini, and the evening became close to flawless. I Mesa Street Grill still knows how to deliver a true dining experience. We will absolutely be back. Tomorrow they have a special Memorial Day Weekend Sunday Brunch that will be for sure very promising!!

There was no flavor, my shrimp was slimy, and my husband's steak was like eating rubber. It was at least cooked correctly to medium. I tried to get the shrimp down but wound up spitting my first and only bite out because it was absolutely vile. I don't mind paying for good food, but $150 for something that's not even close to edible is insane. I can't believe this place has decent reviews. Go somewhere else...anywhere else

Their matcha isn't bad at all, their lavender syrup is incredible and service was great. Shoutout my server for leaving me alone while I attacked my huge backlog of work with headphones in. I don't recommend their pozole, I was really craving some but it was extremely heavy and served with soggy bread. I got flavor fatigue pretty fast.

Seems like a soild spot to eat with good food and a great selection of wine, but not sure how out…read moreof my way I will go back. I went in during an awkward lunch hour and it was myself and 2 other tables in the whole place that were taken. The bar area had what seemed like the owner/manager linking with some vendors into a more private area in the back as well. The place itself is pretty neat with a suit of armor greeting you at the beginning and small tables with brown table cloths and cloth napkins that look for more intimate style dining. The walls are also lined with wine bottles and other Medieval style decor. I go the CUBAN Sandwich and it was pretty solid. Panini style with the pulled pork and ham and cheese but it was weirdly off. I can't tell if the meat was just too dry or if the flavors of all the different items just didn't mesh well but it wasn't the best sandwich I've had. The fries that came with it were just okay. Nothing to write home about. I will try to come back on a date at some point and try to get an overarching experience but until then, 4 stars.

What's great about this bar is not only do they have a wide range of beers and wine, but you can grab a solid cocktail here. Two of my favorite cocktails are their espresso martini and smoked old fashioned. There's a few tables inside and they have an outdoor patio space with heaters. For those of us who always have a low phone battery, they have a charging station for you to get some juice on your phone. Since they're in close proximity to Ardovino's, you can order food from them and they'll bring it over to Happys. Supporting two local businesses at once is a win for me. Come to Happys and leave with a smile.

Also had the crudo (salmon, tuna, scallops) with the soft delicious bread. The deviled eggs were good too. Truth be told I came for the oysters tho- a variety of easy and west coast options. You would never think downtown El Paso would have a spot like this but I'm glad they do!! It's a great place to pregame before a chihuahuas game!

Cocktails are uniquely crafted, the ambiance pulls you right in and the bar is probably the best place to be! It's very clean as well! They have a good range of an oyster selection with great pairings, something for everyone at the table! I was so happy to see Crystals hot sauce again! I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso! As they say, the world is your oyster--and this place serves some of the best pearls of the sea I've had."

I enjoyed mine red, with eggs over easy. The pancakes were good, but I was really impressed with the whipped cream's flavor...it was dense, not overly sweet, and no after taste. Noah's chicken and waffles was good enough that he didn't leave any for anybody to taste. It was a lot easier to get into than the place next door. I recommend.

There is some street parking nearby for those who may choose to. Food & Drinks - (4.75*) The menu has several appealing options such as papas bravas, BBQ rolls, bikini shrimp al pastor, fennel short rib, ribeye, chicken pappardelle, and much more. I'll definitely come back here for dinner to give some a try. The tortured poet espresso martini and the neighborhood sling cocktail were the choices of the night. The espresso martini was a little bitter and lacked a bit more of a sweetener like simple or maple syrup but it was still good. The neighborhood sling was fantastic, very refreshing. A bit into enjoying the cocktail, and with some light arm twisting later by the bartender, I placed an order of fried chicharrónes. He wasn't wrong, these were fantastic. Big pieces, big crunch, and piping hot so they pop when squeezing some fresh lime juice on them. The sauce is not spicy, but has a nice savory flavor. Service - 5* The bartender was super friendly, carried a conversation well while helping other patrons. He was willing to show a few bottles that I was interested in on the shelves and provide a bit more detail about them. Never without need, he was always checking in. Solid. Cost - 4.25* Subjective but seems fairly priced on the food side. The drinks are priced reasonably as well. The chicharrones ordered are a little pricey at $12 or so? Feels like a $8-10 type appetizer even being so fresh. The portion is healthy though. Overall - 4.5* The vibe here is great, it has a diverse set of patrons that come in, the service is friendly, and drinks are above the norm so I'll definitely come here for a full meal! I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to take a date or meet up with some friends.

It is in the basement of a historic hotel (gardener) in an over 100 year old building, and you can enjoy clase azul, fortaleza, don julio, blue label, Johnny Walker Blue, and other fine spirits or a budget friendly well in a speakeasy vibed space. Dillingers is a great option for solo and group events/gatherings. Pool and darts are available. They can have their high energy dance and themed nights and I have personally had graduation parties/birthday parties because the owner and staff have been great since day one. Thank you Dillingers for your chill vibes and memories I have made at this space. (Especially having DJ Coquito Papi and Leslee Becker, MM play my birthday)
